Chapter 757: Grand Meeting (1)
"Yes, a formal royal dress..." Elysia was relieved because what Elena gave her was not something like a banquet or an evening dress.
"That\'s, of course, Ely. Did you think I\'d ask you to wear a sexy dress to a formal event later? I don\'t want those old fogies and weirdos ogling their eyes at you." Elena styled Alisha\'s hair and led the girl in front of the mirror next to Elysia. "What do you think?"
"..." Alisha stared at her reflection in the mirror for a moment. Yet, she paid more attention to the charming appearances of Elysia and the Golden Goddess. Their dresses and beauties were truly top-tier, and their skin was flawlessly white and healthy.
Alisha then raised her hands which were white as snow. She looked like she wasn\'t alive enough with skin that was too pale white like that. "I need to sunbathe more."
"It\'s fine to have such white skin tone, Ai." Elysia styled her hair, but Elena immediately helped her braid her hair into a snake braid.
"Do you think so, Ely? See, your skin is white, but mine seems less alive." Alisha put her hand on Elysia\'s to compare their skin color differences.
Elysia observed the difference for a moment. Alisha seemed to be bothered by it for some reason. Therefore, she smiled and offered suggestions. "The difference is only slight. If you want to sunbathe to tan your skin, let\'s try it in the morning until noon with a sunscreen cream."
"That\'s it! We\'ll do it tomorrow morning." Alisha agreed with the suggestion and made a schedule of events in her mind.
"..." Elena chose not to comment.
Alisha\'s situation was like her, a manifested spirit. Unlike Elysia\'s body, their skin color wouldn\'t change even though they were basking in the hot sun for hours. However, Elysia most likely had a plan to help Alisha via magic.
"Mm, my appearance is now perfect. Thank you, master. Now, it\'s my turn to do your hair." Elysia twirled once and went behind Elena.
"Oh, okay. Please be gentle." Elena sat on a stool and looked at the reflection in the mirror.
"..." Alisha just stared at the Golden Goddess in silence.
"What it is? Don\'t be shy to say what\'s on your mind." Elena glanced sideways.
"No, I was just wondering about you. You are a Goddess and Ely\'s master… It\'s been seven days since I\'ve been here, but I only know your title and three other Goddesses.
Don\'t we mortals deserve to know your name?" Alisha asked curiously.
"You may not know this, but our real names are only kept by ourselves and those with whom we have spiritual connections. Regarding the reason, it\'s already the rule of divinity in this world? However, we have second names besides our titles." Elena explained succinctly.
"Oh, so it\'s like that... Then, may I know your alternate name, Golden Goddess?" Alisha nodded in understanding.
"Hmm, my pseudonym is Ane, but my second name... you can call me Lina in private time. No, you need to call me master too, like Ely." Elena tapped her chin with her finger. She had better not tell her real name because Rhea and Nell had discussed it with her.
"All right, fair enough." Alisha nodded slightly and looked in the mirror. She considered this world\'s rulers to be much more kind and generous than those in the Boundless Realm, which was very good.
"Done. What do you think, master?" Elysia raised her hand.
"Hmm, perfect. Let\'s go out and meet everyone." Elena was satisfied with her crown braid hairstyle.
That said, they exited their changing rooms and met everyone in front of Yuuki\'s portable wooden house.
"Wow, everyone looks so elegant and charming..." Yuuki was mesmerized by the appearance of Elysia and the other two ladies.
The girls then exchanged pleasantries regarding compliments of appearances as it was a matter of course.
"Hmm..." Yuuki counted everyone and then put her portable house into her Space Bag.
"Very well, everyone is ready. Now is the time to head to the rendezvous on a neutral island." Lifa invited everyone to go.
"Are we going to use teleportation?" Elysia asked.
"Yes, everyone is there now. The Goddess of Blessings and the three Gods are also there to arrange things. We can\'t keep them waiting too long, can we?" Lifa glanced back with a soft smile.
"..." Alisha glanced back. Her pet joined the little beast\'s group there.
A tyrannical little earth dragon and two cats... she didn\'t know how her Cherub could get along so well with them so quickly. On the other hand, she still felt awkward getting along with anyone other than Elysia and the Golden Goddess.
Alisha immediately fled to Elysia\'s shadow. On second thought, she didn\'t want to meet many people at a gathering they were going to.
"Oh my, is Ai feeling shy again?" Evelyn was pretty amused.
"I just don\'t want to be seen by many people at the meeting. I\'m fine here. Don\'t bother me for now." Alisha peeked out from Elysia\'s shadow and went back inside when she was done.
"Well, if that\'s what you want." Evelyn shrugged because she didn\'t feel anything was wrong with that.
Elysia double-checked everyone before closing Nature Realm\'s portal. She took the necklace and put it around her neck.
After that, Rhea opened a teleportation portal to where the grand meeting was held.
A tropical island the size of a small town about sixty nautical miles from the northeast coast of the Human Continent served as a neutral meeting place attended by all divine beings and dignitaries of all races.
The three Gods built a colosseum-like building in the center of the island overnight. Lifa asked Oceanid, Xero, and Regulus \'kindly\' to establish that neutral place under Nell\'s supervision.
"..." Nell observed each individual in the provided group seats.
After the notification they sent out three days ago, she and the three Gods had just finished picking up all the higher-ups of all races.
\'Hey, why are so many individuals participating in this grand meeting? Wasn\'t our plan to just invite the Emperors and Empresses?\' Oceanid sighed as he waited for the most crucial group to arrive.
\'They insist on bringing their family or their most important person to this grand meeting.\' Nell put her hand to her forehead. She didn\'t want to take that headache anymore.
\'Tsk, isn\'t that obvious? They want to let their group experience a grand meeting attended by divine beings!\' Regulus clenched his fists.
\'Heh, there\'s no problem either. These few days are pretty peaceful, and they want to see us. Too bad because they are still pawns on the chessboard of a bigger scheme and plan.\' Xero smirked and folded his arms.
\'Don\'t say it like that. Everyone will be involved in cleaning our world from the remaining threats of accursed creatures. If you say that, you are only part of the chess pieces of Lifa\'s plans. However, chess itself is a game introduced by Elysia. Tell me, what\'s the catch?\' Nell reminded the obvious to the Heretic God.
\'Tsk, that old fragile tree!\' Xero clenched his fists in annoyance. He ignored the thing about Elysia but directed his grievances to Lifa instead.
He and his fellow Gods were forced to complete several tasks for Lifa with no choice. It really pissed him off every time he thought about it.
\'Hehe, there\'s no need to feel angry or upset. It\'s all for the good of everyone and this world. A good thing for togetherness. Look, aren\'t we getting closer now? Right, my friend?\' Oceanid nudged the fire lion man next to him.
\'Tch, I\'m not your friend and never will be. Water and fire will never get along since the world was created.\' Regulus smacked Oceanid\'s arm away.
\'Oh, you are shy as usual. We\'ve been on a mission for eight days, day and night together. Consciously or not, we have gone through difficult things together in each battle. We call that friendship comrade in arms!\' Oceanid expressed his opinion with enthusiasm.
\'Well, save that for later. They\'ve arrived, and the grand meeting is about to begin.\' Nell flew away to the newly opened gold-green teleportation portal. She would be the first to welcome her big sister and the others.
Everyone\'s secret conversation in the grand meeting building subsided instantly when the dimensional portal appeared in God\'s seats.
The first ones out of the portal were the girls and the little beasts who seemed to be liaison ambassadors to the divine group.
Humans, devils, beastkins, and beasts… The group with no representative in that divine group was envious because they weren\'t quick enough to send their best young generation there.
The elves, fairies, dwarves, and mermen began to think of a thousand ways to secure their group by sending their best young generation to that divine group.
As for the Beast Race, especially the fire lions... They felt complicated when they saw the arrival of the two brown little tigers of the fallen Winged Tiger Clan.
Then, two Goddesses who recently appeared to the world were present in front of everyone, namely The Goddess of Life and The Goddess of Nature.
The last ones who came were the Goddess of Light, known as the most terrifying Goddess in strength and beauty. Then, right next to her was her precious disciple Elysia, a lovely human mage with unlimited talent and potential.
Luna, the Soul Fox Empress, waved her hand at her daughters with a triumphant smile adorning her face.
Lynn responded by waving her hand elegantly.
"Heehee~" Luna covered her mouth with her folding fan while giving a triumphant look to the group of arrogant dragons next to her group seats.
